I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
I think I need to do a survey on sexuality and gender. So many people have not had interactions with the LGBTQ community. I had a friend who was an "I for intersex" and know an "A for asexual" ... Historically there was an "E for eunuch" (and I suspect that category still exists).
So much easier to just suspend the labels and call people by their name/nickname or title: Vaughn, Officer Paula, Miss Jessica, Duck, Teacher Nessy... No one needs to inspect another person's underwear.
As for 'snowed under' ... well it's spring ... this too shall melt.
I think it is more than just short supply of a virtue. I think evil is a real thing and occasionally presents its own ideas of reality. Since humans live in organic forms and have been given the ability to make choices often, we get wrapped up in our little personal worlds and don't notice evil trying to take bake what is already won. So, the battle commences again.
House Florent plays to win. As I age, I read a lot of history I proceed to think every age has seen its own share of violence. There are times when peace prevails. I hope a time like that is coming toward us.
I read this somewhere over the weekend. When does the word old start in anyone's life? Tomorrow, always tomorrow, never today.
I'm not sure how I will be able to blog in 2019. I have not even been on the computer often in two months. Still reading books though. finally got "The Presidents Missing" on kindle from the library. It's a pretty good who dun-nit. I think everyone should read the last chapter even if you are not interested in the whole story.
My afghan is almost finished one more row of motifs than crochet a trim. The last row of motifs are almost finished. Would be finished but, don'[t have a lot of sit still time to do the work.
Almost time to say good bye to 2018. And, hello to 2019.
Reorganized the house, threw out a lot of non essentials. Introduced a new kitten to the family. I'm wondering what kind of weather we will have in the next two or three months.
Took a course in plant Identification and using herbs for teas and salves. It's interesting how valuable those dandelions really are I have a recipe for dandelion wine. Very simple to make I need to find it.
